Your reading comprehension kind of sucks. That's not what he said.
He said adding touch elements to all screens in one production line may be cheaper than creating two different production lines, one with and one without the touch elements. Extra production lines in a factory are not cheap.
I want my old start menu back that was compact and quick to navigate. I don't want to have to track my eyes and mouse all over a 30" screen to click on unnecessarlily huge icons. I want a small quck to navigate manu system that can have more information on it. Just like I still use Office 2003 because I hate losing 15% of my screen to some stupid Ribbon.
It's not that I can't learn to use the tools. It's that they are bad, dumbed down Fisher-Price tools compared to what we had before.
Wow, talk about not undestanding anything about biology.
What do you think vaccines are? They are just bits of protiens that are identical to what some viruses or bacteria make that you are being exposed to so that you will develop and immune response against them. Do you know how many viruses and bacteria you are exposed to the protiens of daily? Millions and Millions.
Having vaccines aren't going to give you any side effects other than what you'd have if you jabbed yourself in the arm an equivilent number of times with an empty needle. Unless you have egg allergies, it's just not a concern.
The decision for what strains to use is not up to the pharmaceutical companies. It's up to each government to decide what to use in vaccines licensed in that country, based on recommendations from a group of the five World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centers for Reference and Research on Influenza. One of which is the CDC in the U.S.
In the U.S., the decision is then made by the FDA based on the CDC/WHO recommendations.
getting fucked in the ass by a government that takes more and more
Hey troll, tax rates are lower right now then they've been in a long long time. They were a good bit higher in Clinton's day, and it keeps on going higher when you go back a lot further. That's the problem. We are spending, but not paying for it.
Look how much we payed back in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's.
Ever since old Ronny took office, we've had low taxes, and been driving the deficit up and up because we aren't paying anywhere near what we used to.
Government taking more and more, what a laugh. You must get all your 'information' from FAUX news.
Microsoft never claimed their motto was "Don't be evil". Google did. They are the ones who openly invited that evaluation, they are the ones that should be trying to live up to their own claim.
Small town techincal colleges are hiring part-time faculty to teach 2 courses for $2k each per semester. Which makes the part-timers drive around between a few schools to make enough to eat each semester.
This isn't exactly a normal professorship, she's not even working full time.
Unfortunately, this has become EXTREMELY normal. There are lots and lots of people teaching part-time because colleges and universities want to hire cheap part-timers rather than pay more for full-time professors. Some drive long distances between different schools so that they can teach enough courses per semester to actually live on the combined income.
If you don't know this is happening and commonplace, you are simply ignorant of the situation. But the moron at Forbes who wrote the article should have at least done a tiny bit of research to find out about it before writing such utter crap.
Because the others will tell you all about pretty much all aspects of the religion, and you will gladly be given, or given access to the 'holy' books/teachings of those churches. You don't have to be a member, you can just stop by and ask, and if anyone has time, they'll tell you pretty much whatever you want to ask about the actual religion itself (but probably not about administrative scandles about pedophelia, etc), or give or loan you their holy books.
With Scientology, you won't get access to the 'real' teachings, until you've paid tens, or more likely,hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I'm an agnostic/atheist and have no love for any churches, but Scientology is an out and out scam. The pretense of being a church is purely for the tax benifits and as a way to get new suckers to join in.
Plus 8 years ago there was a faster churn. Upgrading a 3-4 year old machine bought you some really good day-to-day performance increases. Nowadays a 3-4 year old machine is still doing well enough performance-wise that there's little incentive to upgrade, so there's slower churn to new machines that would come with the new OS.
That being said, I'm staying with Windows 7 for my windows machines. It works fine, I hate the tile interface (I tried the beta), and so won't be upgrading at home, or at work.
Sorry, no, touch doesn't win on any genres except 'mobile gaming'.
Mice are an hugely better input device if you are sitting at a desktop, where most folks want to play a game of any depth. If you are walking around, sure, a finger is better, but that's only because you don't have room to carry/use a mouse. Why? Because a nice small accurate pointer is inherently better than a sticking your fat greasy finger on the screen over top of what you are trying to look at.
If you have an IT team to do regression testing, then they've probably built something with a real database instead of trying to do everything in excel.
And even if it would, the rich will never abide huge taxes. They like being rich and intend to stay that way, and will not hesitate to use their wealth to achieve their political ends. Robin hood taxes will never fly, no matter how badly the lower classes want it.
The tax rate for top earners in 1940 was 78%, so they've abided it before.
Fluoride *is* good for you. In limited amounts. Any substance you can name will cause problems if you take too much of it. They were off in concentration, which caused the fluorosis.
Flat taxes are horribly regressive and taxes every dime a poor person has (because they have to spend it) while taxing a very tiny portion of the money a rich person makes.

All they need are two or more access points and they can triangulate by signal strength.

What was your point again?
Do you really think that now is the only time there are/were rich people influencing the government for breaks?
When did I ever say that? Please don't try to put words in my mouth that I clearly never said.
